How do journal editors make decisions about which papers get published – and which are passed on? What does the process of assembling a journal issue look like? What does it look like to publish in top journals – from concept to publication?

Join us on September 21, 2026, from 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM ET to discuss Entrepreneurship and Regional Development’s special issue on religious entrepreneurship. Hear from paper authors and the four special issue editors: Brett Smith (Miami University), Saulo Dubard Barbosa (EMLYON Business School, FR), Allan Discua Cruz (Lancaster University, UK), and Miruna Radu-Lefebvre (Audencia Business School, FR). Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about the issue and the publication process.
